Preface

This document contains the analysis and results for the event A day in daylight, where people from around the world measured a complete day of light exposure on (and around) 22 September 2025.

Note

Note that this script is optimized to generate plot outputs and objects to implement in a dashboard. Thus the direct outputs of the script might look distorted in places.

Next we import the survey data. Data were collected with REDCap, and there is an import script to load the data in.

source("scripts/prep_survey_data.r")

Connecting light data with survey data

First, we collect a list of available data sets. As we need to compare them to the device ids in the survey, we require only the file without path or extension

path_light <- "data/lightloggers"
files_light <- list.files(path_light) |> tools::file_path_sans_ext()

Next we check which devices are declared in the survey.

survey_devices <- data |> drop_na(device_id) |> pull(device_id) #get devices
survey_devices |> anyDuplicated() #are any entries duplicated?: No

[1] 0

survey_devices |> setequal(files_light) #are light files and survey entries equal?: Yes

[1] TRUE

No entries are duplicated and the survey device Ids are equal to the light files.

Device and location information

Next, we need to get the time zones of the participants and their coordinates. For this, let’s reduce the complexity of the dataset and clean the data

data_devices <- 
data |> 
  drop_na(device_id) |> 
  select(device_id, record_id, 
         city_country, latitude, longitude,
         age, sex = sex.factor,
         complete_log = complete_log.factor,
         behaviour_change = behaviour_change.factor,
         travel_time_zone) |> 
  mutate(travel_time_zone = travel_time_zone == 1)
label(data_devices$travel_time_zone) = "Time zone travel"
label(data_devices$age) = "age"
label(data_devices$behaviour_change) = "Behaviour change"

data_devices |> gt() |> opt_interactive()

Record ID 31 did not finish the post-survey, so we lack data on that device and consequently remove it. Furthermore, Record ID 30 only has data much outside the time frame of interest. Record ID 40 don’t has sensible data and will also be removed. Likely some issue with a dead battery is the reason.

data_devices <- data_devices |> filter(!record_id %in% c("31", "30", "44"))

We also have to clean up the city and country, as well as latitude and longitude data. We do this separately and load the data back in. The manual entries for locations had to be cleaned. This was done with OpenAI through an API key. The results were stored in the file data/cleaned/places.csv. Uncomment the code cell below to recreate the process. Details in outcome may vary, however.

# library(ellmer)
# 
# data_devices_red <- 
# data_devices |> 
#   select(record_id, city_country, latitude, longitude)
# 
# chat <- chat_openai("If there is more then one place specified, only use the first one. If latitude and longitude are misspecified, make a best guess based on city_country. Use IANA names for the time zone identifieres")
# 
# #reducing each line in a table to a single string
# data_devices_red <- 
# data_devices_red |> 
#   pmap(~ paste(paste(names(data_devices_red), c(...), sep = ": "), collapse = ", "))
# 
# #creating an output structure
# type_place <- type_object(
#   record_id = type_string(),
#   city = type_string(),
#   country = type_string(),
#   latitude = type_number(),
#   longitude = type_number(),
#   tz_identifier = type_string(),
#   UTC_dev = type_number("deviation from UTC in hours, given the 22 September 2025")
# )
# 
# places <-
# parallel_chat_structured(
#   chat,
#   data_devices_red,
#   type = type_place
# )
# 
# write.csv(places, "data/cleaned/places.csv")

#read pre-cleaned data in
places <- read_csv("data/cleaned/places.csv")

First overview

The following code cells use the data imported so far to create some descriptive plots about the sample.

sex_lab <- primitive_bracket(
  key  = key_range_manual(          # <− positions + labels
    start = c(-7,0.1),
    end = c(-0.1,7),# -6  and  +6  on the x-axis
    name     = c("Males", "Females")
  ),
  position = "bottom"         # draw it at the bottom of the panel
)

Import wearable data

Next, we import the light data. There are two devices in use: ActLumus and ActTrust we need to import them separately, as they are using different import functions. device_id with four number indicate the ActLumus devices, whereas with seven numbers the ActTrust. We add a column to the data indicating the Type of device in use. We also make sure that the spelling equals the supported_devices() list from LightLogR. Then we construct filename paths for all files.

c("ActLumus", "ActTrust") %in% supported_devices()

[1] TRUE TRUE

data_devices_cleaned <- 
data_devices_cleaned |> 
  dplyr::mutate(device_type = 
           case_when(
              str_length(device_id) == 4 ~ "ActLumus",
              str_length(device_id) == 7 ~ "ActTrust"
           ),
         file_path = glue("data/lightloggers/{device_id}.txt")
         )

data_devices_cleaned <- 
data_devices_cleaned |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    data = purrr::pmap(list(x = device_type, y = file_path, z = tz_identifier), 
                       \(x, y, z) {
                         import_Dataset(device = x, filename = y, tz = z,
                                        silent = TRUE)
                       }
    )
  )

We end with one dataset per row entry. As the two ActTrust files do not contain a melanopic EDI column, we will use the photopic illuminance column LIGHT towards that end. As there are only two participants with this shortcoming, it will not influence results overduly.

data_devices_cleaned <- 
data_devices_cleaned |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    data = purrr::map2(device_type, data, 
                       \(x,y) {
                         if(x == "ActTrust") {
                           y |> dplyr::rename(MEDI = LIGHT)
                         }
                         else y
                         }
                       )
  )

Further, the dataset in Malaysia had a device malfunction on 22 September and only worked from the 23 September onwards. As there are minimal differences between dates and very few datasets in that region, we will not dismiss that dataset but rather shift data by one day. We need to shift the data by another 8 hours backwards, as that dataset was stored in UTC time (for some reason).

data_devices_cleaned <- 
data_devices_cleaned |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    data = purrr::map2(record_id, data, 
                       \(x,y) {
                         if(x == "25") {
                           y |> dplyr::mutate(
                             Datetime = Datetime - ddays(1) - dhours(8)
                             )
                         }
                         else y
                         }
                       )
  )

Light data

Cleaning light data

In this section we will prepare the light data through the following steps:

• resampling data to 5 minute intervals
• filling in missing data with explicit gaps
• removing data that does not fall between 2025-09-21 10:00:00 UTC and 2025-09-23 12:00:00 UTC, which contains all times where 22 September occurs somewhere on the planet

data_devices <-
data_devices_cleaned |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    data = purrr::map(data, 
                       \(x) {
                           x |> 
                           aggregate_Datetime("5 mins") |> #resample to 5 mins
                           gap_handler(full.days = TRUE) |> #put in explicit gaps
                           filter_Datetime(start = "2025-09-21 10:00:00",
                                           end = "2025-09-23 12:00:00",
                                           tz = "UTC") #cut out a section of data
                         }
                       )
  )

Next, we add a secondary Datetime column that runs on UTC time.

data_devices <-
data_devices |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    data = purrr::map(data, 
                       \(x) {
                           x |> 
                           dplyr::mutate(Datetime_UTC = Datetime |> force_tz("UTC"))
                         }
                       )
  )

Visualizing light data

Now we can visualize the whole dataset - first by combining all datasets.

start_dt <- as.POSIXct("2025-09-21 10:00:00", tz = "UTC")
start_dt2 <- as.POSIXct("2025-09-22 00:00:00", tz = "UTC")
end_dt <- as.POSIXct("2025-09-23 12:00:00", tz = "UTC")
end_dt2 <- as.POSIXct("2025-09-23 00:00:00", tz = "UTC")

light_data <- 
  join_datasets(!!!data_devices$data) |> 
  mutate(Datetime = Datetime |> with_tz("UTC"))

light_data |> 
  aggregate_Datetime("1hour") |> 
  gg_days(facetting = FALSE, 
          group = Id, 
          geom = "ribbon",
          lwd = 0.25,
          fill = "skyblue3",
          color = "skyblue4",
          alpha = 0.1,
          y.axis.label = "UTC Time"
          ) +

In this section we deal with with the activity logs - first by filtering them out of the dataset, and selecting the relevant aspects.

Next, we condense columns that can be expressed as one. We also lose the .factor extension, as now all doubles are removed. Finally, we simplify entries.

Combining Events with light data

In this step, we expand the light measurements with the event data. To this end, we need to specify start and end times for each log entry and thus state.

State analysis

In this section, we look at melanopic EDI for various conditions.

First, we create a function that takes a variable and a filter variable for that column, and creates a histogram off that basis.

histogram_plot <- function(variable, filter) {
light_data_ext |> 
  # drop_na({{ variable }}) |> 
  filter({{ variable }} == filter) |>
  ggplot(aes(y=1, x = MEDI, slab_fill = after_stat(level))) +
  # geom_violin() +
  stat_histinterval(na.rm = TRUE, breaks = 20, align = align_center(at = 0))+
  stat_pointinterval(na.rm = TRUE, point_size = 10, colour = "red") +
  scale_x_continuous(trans = "symlog", breaks = c(0, 10^(0:5)),
                     labels = expression(0,10^0,10^1, 10^2, 10^3, 10^4, 10^5),
                     limits = c(0, 10^5)) +
  theme_void() +
  scale_color_manual(values = scales::brewer_pal()(3)[-1], aesthetics = "slab_fill") +
  theme_sub_axis_x(text = element_text(size = 30)) +
  guides(slab_fill = "none") +
  ylim(c(1,2))
}

The second plot function takes the same inputs, and creates a doubleplot showing when these instances occur.

light_data_1day <- 
light_data_ext |> 
  aggregate_Datetime(unit = "1 hour")

timeline_plot <- function(variable, filter) {
light_data_1day |> 
  dplyr::mutate(
    state = {{ variable }} == filter,
    state = ifelse(is.na(state), FALSE, state)
  ) |> 
  group_by(state) |>
  select(state, Datetime, MEDI) |> 
  aggregate_Date(
    date.handler = \(x) "2025-09-22",
    numeric.handler = \(x) median(x, na.rm = TRUE),
    n = n(),
    lower = quantile(MEDI, p = 0.25, na.rm = TRUE),
    upper = quantile(MEDI, p = 0.75, na.rm = TRUE)
  ) |> 
    dplyr::mutate(n = n/sum(n)) |> 
  gap_handler(full.days = TRUE) |> 
  gg_day(
    facetting = FALSE,
    geom = "blank",
    jco_color = FALSE, x.axis.breaks = hms::hms(hours = seq(0, 24, by = 6))
  ) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper, fill = state), 
              alpha = 0.25
              ) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = 0) +
  geom_line(
    aes(colour = state), lwd = 0.5
  )+
  geom_point(
            aes(size = n, colour = state)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c(`TRUE` = "#EFC000FF",
                               `FALSE` = "darkgrey")) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c(`TRUE` = "#EFC000FF",
                                `FALSE` = "darkgrey")) +
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0, 10^5)) +
  scale_size_continuous(range = c(3, 20), limits = c(0,1)) +
  scale_alpha_continuous(range = c(0.01, 0.5)) +
  guides(lwd = "none", colour = "none", fill = "none", alpha = "none",
         size = "none") +
  theme_void() +
  theme_sub_axis(text = element_text(size = 30)) +
  theme_sub_plot(margin = margin(r = 35)) +
  scale_y_continuous(trans = "symlog", breaks = c(0, 10^(0:5)),
                     labels = expression(0,10^0,10^1, 10^2, 10^3, 10^4, 10^5),
                     limits = c(0, 10^5))
}

Next, we create a function that also takes a variable, and creates a table containing durations, episodes, and some key metrics.

duration_tibble <- function(variable) {
  instances <-
    light_data_ext |>
    # group_by() |>
    extract_states({{ variable }}) |>
    group_by({{ variable }}) |>
    summarize_numeric(prefix = "",
                      remove = c("start", "end", "epoch"))
  # drop_na()
  
  metrics <-
    light_data_ext |>
    group_by({{ variable }}) |>
    dplyr::summarize(
      mean = mean(MEDI, na.rm = TRUE),
      min = min(MEDI, na.rm = TRUE),
      q025 = quantile(MEDI, probs = 0.025, na.rm = TRUE),
      q250 = quantile(MEDI, probs = 0.17, na.rm = TRUE),
      median = median(MEDI, na.rm = TRUE),
      q750 = quantile(MEDI, probs = 0.83, na.rm = TRUE),
      q975 = quantile(MEDI, probs = 0.975, na.rm = TRUE),
      max = max(MEDI, na.rm = TRUE),
    )
  # drop_na()
  
  variable_chr <- rlang::ensym(variable) |> as_string()
  
  left_join(instances, metrics, by = variable_chr) |> 
  drop_na()
}

Lastly, a function to create the actual table. It takes both the duration_tibble() and histogram_plot() functions and creates a gt html table based on it.

duration_table <- function(variable) {
  
  variable_chr <- rlang::ensym(variable) |> as_string()
  
  duration_tibble({{ variable }}) |>
    arrange(desc(median)) |> 
    gt(rowname_col = variable_chr) |>
    fmt_number(mean:max, decimals = 0) |>
    cols_add(Plot = {{ variable }}, 
             Plot2 = {{ variable }},
             .after = max) |>
    cols_add(rel_duration = total_duration/sum(total_duration), 
             .after = total_duration) |>
    fmt_percent(rel_duration, decimals = 0) |> 
    cols_label(
      duration = "Episode duration",
      total_duration = "Total duration",
      episodes = "Episodes",
      mean = "Mean",
      min = "0%",
      q025 = "2.5%",
      q250 = "17%",
      median = "Median",
      q750 = "83%",
      q975 = "97.5%",
      max = "100%",
      Plot = "Histogram",
      Plot2 = "Timeline",
      rel_duration = "Relative duration"
    ) |>
    text_transform(locations = cells_body(Plot), fn = \(x) {
      gt::ggplot_image({
        x %>%
          map(\(y) histogram_plot({{ variable }}, y))

    }) |>
    text_transform(locations = cells_body(Plot2), fn = \(x) {
      gt::ggplot_image({

Global perspectives

In this section we look at the global distribution of melanopic EDI, Time above 250lx, and the Dose of light.

Shade data

In this section we calculate day and night times around the globe. As we want to use this information for a looped visualization, we will set a slightly different cutoff and only collect 48 hours.

# Spatial grid resolution (degrees). 2° keeps things light; 1° looks smoother but is heavier.
lon_step <- 0.5
lat_step <- 0.5

# Darkness mapping: fully dark at civil twilight (-6°), linearly increasing from 0 to 1 as altitude goes 0 -> -6°.
dark_full_altitude <- -6 # degrees

# ---------- build lon/lat grid ----------
lons <- seq(-180, 180, by = lon_step)
lats <- seq(-90,  90,  by = lat_step)
grid <- expand.grid(lon = lons, lat = lats) |>
  as_tibble()

# ---------- time sequence ----------
times_utc <- seq(t_start, t_end, by = time_step)

# ---------- compute sun altitude for each (lon, lat, time) ----------
# We'll loop over time slices (efficient enough for this grid size),
# compute altitude (in radians from suncalc), convert to degrees,
# then map to a "darkness" alpha value.

compute_slice <- function(tt) {
  
  # build a data frame with the timestamp repeated for each grid point
  df <- data.frame(
    date = rep(tt, nrow(grid)),
